Kakenya Ntaiya hizo un trato con su padre: ella se sometería al ritual de iniciación de la circuncisión femenina si él la dejaba ir a la preparatoria. Ntaiya cuenta su valiente historia de cómo continuó sus estudios universitarios y de cómo trabajó con los ancianos de su aldea para construir una escuela para niñas en su comunidad. Es el viaje educativo de una persona que cambió el destino de 125 jóvenes mujeres.(Filmado en TEDxMidAtlantic)
